Interesting... reminds me of an F50.
With the big smile grille (complete even with dimples) and those intakes forming a nose, what it reminds me of most is a cartoon character! 
Also, since it is up front and well behind the radiator, it seems like the only intake or cooling it could provide would be to keep the spare tire cool.

Snooping a little bit on their site and using the mildly useful altavista babelfish it seems like they're developing quite a few parts for the NSX right now.
The rear diffuser (and LED) and hood being the two most interesting in my opinion.
Here are some pix:
Talk about some crazy front fenders...
Blue?
Badass rear diffuser + semi-center exit dual:

Look how far the fender comes off the body! I'm a fan of this style fender, but this particular one is a bit extreme.
Such a sharp crease...
They have two models of hoods, this one is the more streamlined one:
This one has a more agressive edge:
Here they are again:

Up close of rear diffuser:
Price on the webpage for the Diffuser said:
CFRP 158.000 (~$1350)
FRP 128.000 (~$1100)
For the hoods:
CFRP 178.000 (~$1500)
FRP 148.000 (~$1200)
I don't know about you but that hood with the updated lights look neet-0!! I like the type r hood but this one takes the cake!

You are probably right.
I like that bronze look...

The best thing about this design is the side mirrors! I love what they did to move the mirrors on that little triangle section on the windows.
The NSX is by far the best looking car ever... but my one hang-up is how the side mirrors purtrude from the doors and not that triangle section. IMO it kind of detracts from the "flow" of the car and was wondering if they could be placed on that window section.
As a related side note:
I saw Peter Cunningham's RealTime NSX at Portland a year ago and spoke with the head mechanic after I asked him why the mirrors were on the triangle section and not on the doors. He said their NSX was a "pre-production" model and there were some styling changes made before the NSX went into production.
But, does anyone know why the mirrors were moved from the window post to the doors?

Yes, those nostrils make it remind me of a Pontiac Firebird. All it needs is the screaming chicken decal.
Maybe it has to do with clearing the front fenders?
When you open the door all the way, the mirror might hit the front fenders, since they're considerably protruding from the rest of the body.
Couple of comments...
1) I can't get over how awful and unfinished rear diffusers like the above look.
2) How ironic that Rubber Chicken posted immediately after Ken's "Screaming Chicken" post

Like these?
Or like this:
The White TypeR NSX from Kawagan Racing is on cover car for the 2003 January Option 2 Magazine
The rims on this red nsx looks like the Advan Model-5

Rubber chicken, the actual style is just about the same on the 2 mirrors, but I am fan of 2 as opposed the the lone flying mirror...gives the car a more balanced look.
Side note: Any photoshoppers that can put TR mirrors on a NSX?
BTW damn I love TRs..so pretty

I love the Body kit on this blue one and rear spoiler is beautifull not too big and "wingy". Does anyone know what kind of spoiler is on the last blue car?
the japanese company revolution makes testarossa style side view mirrors that mount where they belong - on the triangular section. you can see them in the nsx edition of hyperrev (vol. 32) on page 113. they look nice but are a little small. i also like revolution's fixed headlight buckets. could someone scan this page and post it?
